   Ongoing every other Thursday evening at 6:30pm: Writers' Ink!  This is a writer's group designed for adults looking to meet monthly with others working at the craft of writing.  This group will meet to provide support, inspiration, reference materials and critique of their writing. This group is designed to include general fiction writers (short stories, novels, children's books etc.) at the beginner's level.

A writing group can improve one's writing and writing habits, as well as provide a supportive environment for everyone in the group.  It can serve as a great resource for brainstorming and inspiration when experiencing "writer's block". It can also provide a springboard for collaboration of creative talents among the group members! If you are interested in joining Writers' Ink, please call the library at 566-3047 for more information and meeting dates.
